The Holy Trinity at a Glance

The ultimate goal of this blog is to educate Christians and non-Christians that the Bible, taken as a whole, is greater than the sum of its parts (Old Testament (or Torah) and New Testament). Toward that end, we cite passages, from throughout the Bible, that illustrate God's tri-unity.

The Tri-unity of God

The only true God is the Triune God (Trinity):

three distinct Persons–

God the Father, God the Son [Jesus Christ], God the Holy Spirit

in one divine Being or Essence.

(The Holy Trinity–3 in 1 and 1 in 3)

The teaching of Trinity (3 in 1 and 1 in 3) is, to be sure, a “great mystery” (1 Timothy 3:16), a very non-understandable “article of faith” (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Note: Tri-unity is not be confused with tritheism, which erroneously contends there are three Gods. To repeat, there is only one God in three Persons, as a triangle has three angles and three sides but is still just one triangle. Compare Mark 12:29 (cf. John 10:30) with Matthew 28:19.
